Diogo Nascimento, a Portuguese midfielder for Olympiakos, is close to being loaned to Rio Ave, as an agreement between the clubs and the player is practically finalized. The loan will allow the 23-year-old U21 international, who was formed at Benfica, to return to the Portuguese Liga to gain consistent playing time and continue his career in Vila do Conde, after not being a main part of coach Mendilibar's plans. Nascimento joined the Greek club in July 2025 and has a contract that runs until June 2029. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €4.00m.
